Released August 7, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited CD edition.

Neram Pularumbol (As The Dawn Breaks) is Sunken Cages’ long-awaited follow-up to his 2021 debut on On The Corner Records.

Over the past 5 years he has developed an idiosyncratic production style that blends South Indian folk instruments with electronic drums, dark synths, drones and industrial textures to create a freshly deconstructed global club music.

Evoking resynthesis - a processing method in electronic music that analyzes sounds to extract their fundamental component, as a guiding metaphor, he has produced tracks that confronted conservative views of culture as something frozen, solidified and sanctified, thus resistant to change.

For this collaborative album, he tapped genre-blurring music producers, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists from all over the globe. Rani Jambak, an Indigenous Indonesian composer, producer, instrument designer and vocalist, brought haunting vocals, chants to “Athiraavile.” Indo-Californian producer Kush Arora, known for fusing deconstructed Punjabi music with Industrial, Dancehall, reworked “Idakka” for a noisier and more propulsive narrative. Kuza, a Classically trained South African vocalist, bridged the gap between Gqom and a ghostly Aria.

Additionally, remixers Lila Tirando a Violeta (Uruguay), Masma Dream World (Gabon/US), and El Kontessa (Egypt), along with Mahorka staples Weldroid (Hungary/Sweden), and Moki McFly (Phillipines) brought their distinctive signature sounds to reinvent the original tracks.

All tracks written/arranged/produced by Sunken Cages (Lungees & Combat Boots Music, ASCAP), 2024-2026, Philadelphia, USA

Mastered by Weldroid (Tamas Zsiros), May 2026, Stockholm, Sweden
